Other blogs...
I told Justin not too long ago, that I don't like reading other people's blogs or facebook pages because I always leave reading it feeling like I have failed in my life. There are always exciting things that people are doing, and beautiful places that people are visiting or living, and it never feels like we do anything exciting. Justin and I have been talking about moving to England after nursing school, and I really hope that we do. I would love to live somewhere that I am excited about it, and US history is just much too young for my likings. If we lived in England maybe I could go to Oxford University and finish my degree, or work for the archives, and Lylia could wear cute little uniforms. I am so glad Justin went there on his mission, because he wants to go back and live there too. I want to live in a cute cottage like on the movie, "The Holiday." Oh boy...sometimes I wish that life were more exciting. That we had the money to go and do really fun things in new places. I know that I am supposed to be enjoying the here and now, but I can't help but not love the here and now sometimes. We are in a student married ward, and I wish that I had more interesting people to talk to. All that we ever talk about is school. When can we talk about real things? I went to a quilt store to get fabric to make Lylia a skirt for Easter, and it made me realize that I don't have any friends that I can sew with. It made me want to flash forward to when I am an old lady and women actually want to sew. I just keep going to these places and seeing these groups of women my age all hanging out with things all in common, like painting wood crafts, or quilting. Oh boy... I am on a life sucks stage today. I wish there were things about my day that make me really excited. But I am sorry to say that the only thing I look forward to are tv shows, and making homemade bread, and the one date a month that I sometimes get to go on. Sorry this is a depressing post, its probably because work is beyond slow today! Gotta love slow season of apartments. Justin and Lylia went riding on the chu chus this morning because Lylia wanted to. I would much rather be with them then here. But work is essential to get us to our goals. I just wish I lived somewhere I loved! Like Italy, or England. Anyway I better go and try to find something to do. Have a wonderful day.

I'm sorry that you are having a blah day. I have had a few of those myself lately. I sometimes feel the same way about other people's blogs, but then I try to remember that the grass is always greener, and that everyone has struggles, no matter where they are or what they show to the outside world. I hope you get to live your dreams, but I also hope that you can find ways to be happy where you are now since that is where you are, and I don't like to see you unhappy. love you lots
Oh, Kelly.
I would love to sew with you. May I remind you that when I suggested sewing with you, you declined in favor of watching Lost? Let's find a time that is Lost-free and get down to business, because I need your help making a quilt for my friend's baby.
Don't worry if other people's blogs get you down... I think that's just what blogs do. I read other people's blogs and cry because they get to stay home with their kids instead of going to school, and I think they are much better moms than I am. I've heard other people say that they read my blog and are jealous that I go to school and learn interesting things. Like J and Company says, the grass is always greener.
When you move to England, we will come be your next door neighbors. (Geoff has decided that moving to England is a necessity, as well.)
I wish I lived closer so I could sew with you, I'm an amature but it's been fun to far.
I have been in that rut a lot as well. Then I realize I have to try to make the best of the situation. I know it is SO hard, I hope that you can find a good friend to sew with and anything else you enjoy.
Maybe when you move to England we'll be in Germany and we can visit :) That would be fun!!
